Longtime political analyst and columnist Stu Rothenberg is ending his relationship with Roll Call after 24 years, he announced on Monday.

Rothenberg, who is the founding editor and publisher of The Rothenberg & Gonzales Political Report, said in an email to POLITICO that he could no longer continue writing for Roll Call because of the paper's change in coverage.

"I have been increasingly unhappy with Roll Call’s coverage, believing that they are chasing the story of the day, especially Trump. That meant they were paying less attention to Congress and congressional elections, which always was their bread-and-butter. I disagreed with management’s approach and style, so I ended the relationship," Rothenberg wrote in the email.
